Believe it or not, this McDonald's chicken
nugget thing actually happened to me when they had bar-b-cue
wings. I asked the girl for 18 wings and she told me, in
front of several amazed customers, that they only came in 6 and
12 packs. When the woman next to me told the counter girl to
give me a 12 and a 6 pack, she looked at him with this weird face,
turned and called the manager. The manager assured the girl
she could give me 18 wings, but he had to help her with the
register. America what a country.
A lady at work was seen putting a credit card
into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When
inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on
the Internet and they asked for a credit card number, so she's
using the ATM "thingy".
I recently saw a distraught young lady with
tears in her eyes beside her car. "Do you need some
help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have
replaced the battery to this remote door un-locker. Now I can't
get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant
convenient store) would have a battery to fit this?"
"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked.
"No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it
and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked
the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and
check about the batteries, it's a long walk."
Several years ago, we had an intern who was none
too swift. One day he was typing and turned to a secretary
and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I
do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary
told him. With that, the intern took his last remaining blank
piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make
five "blank" copies.
I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a
large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the
vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally
looked like an extra in "Twister". I asked the manager
what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the
"cruise control" and then went in the back to make a
sandwich.
